# On the motion of polygonal curves with asymptotic lines by crystalline curvature flow with bulk effect

• The behavior of polygonal curves with asymptotic lines to crystalline motion with the bulk effect is discussed. We show sufficient conditions for global existence of the solutions and characterize facet-extinction patterns. We also show the eventual monotonicity of shape of the solution curves, that is, the solutions become V-shaped in finite time.
